I'm going to start this review by stating that I am *not* a gardener - I like looking at gardens,…read morebut I'm definitely not someone who likes getting my hands dirty ;) My partner, on the other hand, LOVES gardening, and has been a member of the Diggers Club for a few years. After a big night out in the city, I suggested that we swing past the Diggers shop in the Botanic Gardens, since we hadn't visited before. Unfortunately, parking was a bit difficult on Plane Tree Drive, but it was still quite nice to walk across the lawns to get to the shop. And what a shop! Although I don't like gardening, I am an artist, so appreciate the aesthetics of this establishment - all the pretty seeds lining one wall! My partner was in heaven - she loved the fact that they don't stock everything in the catalogue, but only the plants that need to be planted now. The seeds that should be sown now are labelled as such - it's all very practical. The staff are very friendly, and are knowledgeable - I assume they may have some sort of horticultural background. All in all, this is a place that even non-gardeners can appreciate!

The store in the Botanic Gardens is a bright, airy space, with beautiful glass overhead and is situated close to the cafe and overlooking the Mediteranean Garden. There's a wide selection of seedlings out the front and various tools as well. Inside is more supplies for the garden and a wall full of seeds, just about every seed you can imagine and then some more! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there's a coin jar if you want a plastic bag. And if you want to take a look at the beautiful Museum of Botanical History, the door to that is adjacet to the Diggers shop. So you can look at history, then have a coffee, then buy some plants and stuff for the garden! Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in gardening, whatever your knowledge and skill level may be.

They were sending each other sideways glances and shaking their heads and making snide remarks. I can't imagine in these times why staff would be so rude and sarcastic to customers. Clearly they don't need return business. I will not return to this shop even though it is the closest garden centre to me, I would rather go the extra few km's and go to Heynes on the Parade where the staff are helpful.

There are a number of stalls in the market claiming to be organic and all of that junk. To be…read morehonest I don't really give a crap, but really the only way you can guarentee such things is to grow your own. Therefore, the most organic stall in the Central MArket has to be Prettejohns (Stall 4)! Prettejohns sells.....wait for it......plants! Well, mainly seedlings, but they will grow into plants! You can get Herbs, vege's, fruit and pretty flower plants that will go nicely in you back yard or a pot! They really cram a lot into the stall, so take some time to check it out! More than anything, I actually just like the stall as a break from the other stalls, working out which is more economical 3 mangos for $5 or 6 for $10 confuses me completely!

Mitre 10 on Unley Road is my closest hardware store and while small, it offers most of what I need for jobs around the house and garden. The main thing I come here for is the bags of sandpit sand - 30kgs for $8.50 (I think). The drive through at the back mean I can pull in and they'll put four bags directly in the boot of my car. (Pity they can't carry it to the backyard at the other end). In the garden section there is lots of greenery, herbs and plants suitable for gifts. You'll also find to accessories and other bits and bobs such as things to do with weather, umbrellas and outdoor furniture. This is a small store, but parking is easy and the service is great. I do a lot of my shopping at Bunnings due to the one stop shop nature of the superstore, but when I need helpful advice, I support my local Mitre 10.

This is my local hardware store unfortunately. I pass it on the way to Bunnings. The reason I avoid…read moreit is because almost every time I have been there the staff are more interested in talking amongst themselves rather than asking if they can help me. Whenever I give them another chance I am amazed, it is like I am invisible. When I have approached them and asked for any advice I get blank looks. Besides that the place is soooo expensive, I can find the same product at Bunnings for half the price.

The majority of the shop is plants but they also have a good selection of pots, statues, etc outside and an excellent range of giftware inside the shop. It's worth venturing right down the back of the garden and having a look at their reject or damaged section. I picked up an absolute bargain...a garden angel statue of a little boy sitting with knees up to his chin, resting his head to one side over folded arms, posed looking down eyes closed. These statues look aged and retail for over $250, I found the purchase of the year paying only $50 because he was damaged, to me I didn't care...he's beautiful as he is. This is not to say it'll happen often but when and if it does...you're in luck. The garden centre is well maintained and well stocked for all you need to plant out your garden, patio, etc, also great for garden orientated gifts.

The most jam packed french provincial, shabby chiccy, birdcage, candle stick holder shop in SA. As…read moreyou can tell I like this place, no 'like' is mundane...I L O V E this shop! It's an escape from everyday life and adds a touch of whimsy the stuff dreams are made of. Ok I may have gone on a bit but I simply adore it. I must've had a past life in one of those grandiose French / Italian villas, as I am so drawn to this type of decor. My husband can never understand why I buy these items and put them around the house to gather dust. I then just point out to him that he has his vices and I have mine..so there. Villa Provence is located on Portrush Rd Toorak Gardens right next door to the Trak Cinema. I can't believe they don't have a website or a Facebook page as I'm sure they'd have enough followers to take over Adelaide. Yes it is on the pricey side so pick and choose your pieces carefully if on a budget and if not well you're just plain lucky. There are so many items they can't fit in the shop so it spills over into the walkway inside on the way to the cinema, such as wrought iron chairs and benches, decorative wooden birdcages, book and nic nak display shelving and so much more. And as a note: a little further down the centre corridor at the end on the right is Villa Hamptons! A different feel much like being at the seaside along the Mediterranean, very noyce! You simply have to go there darlings, ta ta.

As far as this sort of stock goes, this shop is great. The merchandise ain't flimsy or weak or fragile. Most of it feels made to last, which is good. The stock's mostly interesting (though it's your usual brand of odd, needless birdcages and stone faces and wrought-iron chairs and whatnot). It's expensive. But I'll concede that the quality of good seems to justify the expense. I think I'll be returning here in a few years. Unless I want my bedroom to match the decor of the store.
